Bale Garden Benefits:
Space- Minimal space is needed
Maintenance- Looking for a WEED
FREE garden? The best part of these
micro-garden options is the fact
they are virtually weed free!
Fertilizer- NO FERTILIZING is
needed after the first 10 days.
Watering- When needed. If a
soaker hose is used along with a
timer there is NO WATERING
required.
Harvesting- SIMPLE! For bigger
root veggies such as potatoes simply
lift up the bale and grab the potatoes
that are hanging out of the bottom.
Aftermath: Towards the end of the
season the bales will begin to breakdown completely. The benefit here
being straw from the bale is an excellant composting material. Use the
residue to mix in as compost in other
gardens or soils around the yard.

Pallet Garden Benefits:
Space- Minimal space is used especially for vertical plantings.
Maintenance- Low maintenance is
needed for these. If planting veggies
from seed there is slight potential for
weeds to grow, however, there is little
area that needs weeding and once
plants grow to cover the soil area there
should not be any weeds. If planting
annual flowers from packs there is
a great chance of having a weed free
garden from the begining.
Planting- SIMPLE! The pallet makes
for perfect rows and allows for easy
plant identification.
Aftermath- Realitively easy cleanup
and the pallets may be reused for next
year!
